Scripters unite,
I'm working on an applescript that creates a temporary printer style and then controls a batch export of Indesign files to Postscript files. Works fine, except that the ps level insists to be level 3 - not level 2, as I would prefer. (Even so if I make it all manually in Indesign.)
If I set the data format to ascii, it can be confirmed that level is 3 in the resulting files:
The file header includes:
%%LanguageLevel: 3
Noticed that Duane Mitchell reflected on this topic (08:54am Apr 9, 2003).
Someone who has further experience in this field?
Can it be some of the properties that makes Indesign to force level 3?
My props currently are:
make printer style with properties {bleed bottom:0.0, bleed inside:0.0, bleed outside:0.0, bleed top:0.0, color output:composite CMYK, data format:ascii, flattener style name:"[High Resolution]", page range:all, print file:MyPrintFile, print to disk:true, postscript level:level 2, profile:use document, simulate overprint:false, ppd:device independent, print master pages:false, print nonprinting:false, printer:postscript file, reverse order:false, print spreads:true, all printer marks:false, bleed marks:false, color bars:false, crop marks:false, force continuous tone:false, font downloading:complete, ignore spread overrides:false, copies:myNumOfPrints, OPI image replacement:true, sequence:all, omit bitmaps:false, omit EPS:false, omit PDF:false, page information marks:false, name:myTMPpostscriptStyle, registration marks:false, send image data:all image data, print guides grids:false}
